[ElasticTangent]

Looking good. Once you start modding it's hard to stop.

 

[afcajax73]

haha tell me about it.. (as my last car shows) next for sure.. is the cupra r bumpers and alloys.. then maybe some tints.. then engine work

 

[jedi knight]

Looks much neater.

 

[ElasticTangent]

This is the Fabia wiper right?

 

[afcajax73]

yeh fabia estate wiper.. with the fabia hatch cover for where the water jet fires out... total cost £17

 

[Cupraloon]

Looking good dude,

Changeing the rear wiper was my first mod only a couple of months ago, and now look, the list is growing daily.....

And to think i wasn't going to mod this car.... yeah right how long was that going to last..


Better open your wallet and leave it open then, cos' the price of fitting R bumpers is completely crazy, if you buy new genuine parts, cos' you'll be lucky to find second hand R bumpers cheaply..

to give you some idea look at this...

so i see. can be expencive.. maybe worth it tho.. i think ive sourced some bumpers.. from a recovered stolen/write off car.. slight scuffing to the rear bumper.. but maybe still worth getting and fixing.. will see on final price like.

Finally got my hands on mine today, they do look much better - Shall be fitted as soon as the rain holds off.

Only need 10 mins!!

 

[Cupraloon]

Yeah could be, i too thought of doing this, but when i saw how much it could cost, I thought Wooaaaaaa + the extra cost of insuring a modded car, in the end it's cheaper to just buy the R...

Of course then you start all over again.... buying bits and bobs or just save the bits of the LC, i guess would work

Only had mine a year, got it for a couple more yet i guess, unless times change drastically.... then it'll be a red LCR, sitting in my drive...

I don't intend to spend a fortune changing the car, just little bits & pieces help it handle a bit better etc, go a bit better, bloody house takes the rest of my dosh

 

[afcajax73]

yeh fair enuf mate.. im going get the bumpers over time.. and spray them up etc.. get them sorted and then fit them all in one go.. im in no real rush to get them on there.. im defo going wait till around christmas time before i even think of fitting anything anyway

thanks for the kind words anyway everyone ill keep posting up more as i go along

 

[lard44]

The first and by no means the last.

Was the first mod on my ibiza but i went straight for the remap on the LCR. No mucking around although that wiper does look smart!

 

[nibbles]

this is where mine all started

 

[Punch IT!]

hi welcome mate nice to see the fabia wiper looks a lot nicer. Anyways those bumpers are sexy i also am considering doing this to my 02 pre face lift cupra but like the loon said its a very expensive mod especially the price of getting them sprayed black in my case.

 

[afcajax73]

for me the main cost is buying the things.. getting them sprayed for me is quite easy.. got a few mates and my dad who are good sprayers..
